Best Drunk Food's


We've all been there. Two a.m. after the bars are letting out, and you're gone. Not totally gone, but let's just say tomorrow is going to be a day full of water, ginger ale, and maybe some greasy food. Speaking of greasy food, that is what your stomach is undoubtedly craving by the time last call rolls around. People will pay top dollar for a big piece of pizza or a McDonald's cheeseburger by this time. Hell, where I went to school there was a bagel shop that was open till real late, and because it was on the walk back to campus and the only thing open, kids would flock to it. This was a bagel shop. Repeat. Bagels. I can eat two bagels in the morning. The owner would naturally charge whatever he wanted for the bagel and the trouble you were probably causing. $5, $10 maybe. I may have even been a victim. They weren't even that good bagels. Again, people will shell out some serious dough for drunk munchies. Without further adieu, here is my list of favorite drunk foods (Discretion: this list is subject to change at any time):


1. Pizza: In terms of price/tastiness/reliability/easy handling, pizza is my favorite drunk food. Nothing beats a good slice. At $3 a pop, and often somewhat filling, pizza is always on my mind. The greasiness, cheese, and sauce mixture is a mix of ecstasy for any drunkard, and a topping only adds to the tastiness. It's hard to screw up a slice of pizza (somehow Dominos doesn't yet understand this), which makes it my top pick.

2. Burgers: A pizza burger would be even better, but a cheeseburger is something I have a hard time turning down. Like pizza, it is easy to avoid getting it all over you, and like pizza, it is greasy goodness. It's grilled ground beef, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and maybe bacon if you're lucky. MMMM BACON.

3. Wings: Chicken wings are great for football, so they're naturally great for drunk eating. Not only are they delicious, but they come in multiple flavors, with multiple dipping sauces as well. My preference - old bay wings with blue cheese dipping sauce.

4. Burritos: One of my favorite foods, but a food that requires a lot of attention. Hopefully you are able to sit down, or otherwise you may find your burrito on the ground or all over yourself. The combination of meat, beans, veggies, and cheese is bound to even help sober John Daly up.

5. Absolutely Anything: Let's face it, after pounding down a dozen brews and some jaeger bombs, all anyone wants is something to munch on (or water if you like that). That's probably why you see some people eat dog treats at parties. It's not because they're getting tricked or are completely smashed, it's because they're starved. Anything in the fridge (store) will do, and anything is fair game. The lesson when drinking, of course is, bring plenty of cash for food.
